2005 Nissan Kubistar 1.5L Diesel · DE05 AFF

The Nissan Kubistar presented a valid MOT pass on 27 June 2025 at 119,547 miles with no defects recorded, confirming statutory roadworthiness at that date. Maintenance trend across the five logged tests from November 2022 to June 2025 remains stable, showing zero advisories or mechanical faults. Two failures appear in the record: one on 27 June 2025 at 119,547 miles and another on 16 November 2022 at 114,403 miles, both listing no defects. Each failure preceded a pass within two days and nine miles respectively, pointing to administrative or presentation anomalies rather than escalating wear. At 21 years old the van shows 119,547 recorded miles, an average of about 5,700 miles per year, which is low for a 2005 light commercial vehicle. The odometer advanced from 114,412 miles on 18 November 2022 to 118,370 miles on 4 July 2024, a modest 3,958 miles over twenty months. By the June 2025 test only 1,177 further miles were logged. Such limited use suggests gentle running but also risks prolonged standing, which can hide degraded suspension bushes and corroded structural members not surfaced in the clean test entries. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of key wear items. The tester logged no defects, yet age and low mileage demand checking coil springs, brake discs, and binding calipers for stiffness after inactivity. Examine the underside for corrosion and verify exhaust emissions match a 2005 unit's expectation. The repeated fail-with-no-defect pattern implies previous owners cleared statutory hurdles promptly, but the absent advisories on consumables like tyres and wiper blades warrant hands-on confirmation of remaining tread and rubber condition.
